AI Model Development
We develop, train, adapt, and evaluate AI models for analyzing seismic data and addressing research and operational challenges in earthquake science.

TRACE is an interdisciplinary scientific research project and AI lab, providing a shared computational environment for seismology and earthquake science.
Through a guided web interface and computational tools, it supports AI model development, real-time earthquake monitoring, early warning, research, and education.
TRACE brings together AI research, seismic data, physical modeling, and computational tools for earthquake science, real-time monitoring, and early warning.
We develop, train, adapt, and evaluate AI models for analyzing seismic data and addressing research and operational challenges in earthquake science.
We are building an open research environment that combines a guided web interface with computational tools for training, testing, and comparing AI models.
Users can incorporate regional datasets, velocity structures, physics-based synthetic data, and observed noise to create training datasets that better represent local conditions.
TRACE supports professional researchers and operational institutions while helping students and early-career researchers learn how AI models are applied to problems in seismology and earthquake science.
We combine seismic observations, regional Earth models, and seismological knowledge to study earthquakes and support reliable monitoring, characterization, and cataloging.
We analyze continuous seismic records using filtering, phase analysis, waveform methods, and noise characterization to identify earthquake signals in complex seismic observations.
We develop, train, and evaluate AI models for seismic analysis, real-time earthquake monitoring, early warning, and other problems in earthquake science.
We develop mathematical and statistical methods for physical modeling, uncertainty quantification, inverse problems, and reliable AI-based seismic analysis.
We provide a guided web interface and computational tools to generate training datasets and to train, adapt, and compare modern AI models.
We develop tools for exploring seismic data, examining model behavior, comparing predictions, evaluating earthquake catalogs, and communicating results.
TRACE brings together researchers, students, and engineers from a range of disciplines.
